The focus is on black-box optimization of a function f : RN R given as a black box, i. e. an oracle for f-evaluations. This is commonly called direct search, and in fact, most meth...
Mesh optimization of 2D and 3D triangulations is used in multiple applications extensively. For example, mesh optimization is crucial in the context of adaptively discretizing geo...
Because of their simplicity, risk measures are often employed in financial risk evaluations and related decisions. In fact, the risk measure ρ(X) of a random variable X is a rea...
A fundamental reason for investing in product families is to minimize the application engineering costs. Several organizations that employ product families, however, are becoming i...
